	1) I guess I'm in a nit-picky mood today
	2) I've been cleaning up gobs of shell scripts with the above construct
in it, so I'm also just a wee bit sensitive to it

	so pardon me please for noting:

cd $dir; for file in *.tar.gz; do tar -zxf $file; done

	Does the same thing, and saves a process.  Not usually a big deal, but
we need all the horsepower we can get (300 MHz Alpha), and saving an ls
here or there is a Good Thing (TM).

kernel, n.: A part of an operating system that preserves the
medieval traditions of sorcery and black art.
